It’s like, “F*** you, don’t tell us what to cut.” So in this case, we found a suitor with Starz, which has their corporate model of how they do business and how they charge their customers, and they happened to provide us with unrestricted content. And it is a special privilege, because almost everything that I’ve ever worked on, there’s always some Standards and Practices that says, “You’ve got to cut this,” some ratings board, “You’ve got to cut that, you’ve got to cut that.” We’ve always bristled against that creatively. If it was AMC or broadcast, this thing would be butchered. But what people need to realize is, you want the pure EVIL DEAD, it has to be on Starz. But because Starz is a premium channel, you’ve got to add them, like HBO or whatever. If you’ve got a basic cable package, you could put it all on there. They want one entertainment bill, and they want it all on there. People are acting like they could not get it before, but now that it’s on Netflix, the platform that they use, now they’ll watch it. The first two seasons came out on Netflix. They’re in fifty percent of American households. I learned an important lesson about platforms. But it’s still shocking how many people who are fans have not seen. When Campbell sits down in West Hollywood’s London Hotel to talk about Season 3 of ASH VS EVIL DEAD, it seems reasonable to inquire whether, now that Ash and the demons are back, if EVIL DEAD fans are finally content, or if they’ve found something new to keep asking about.īRUCE CAMPBELL: No, we’ve shut ‘em up. Old nemesis-turned-collaborator Ruby (Lucy Lawless) is back to raising hell (literally) this year. This season, Ash also finds he has a teenaged daughter, Brandi Barr (Arielle Carver-O’Neill), who is at first understandably worried about her newly-found dad’s penchant for getting covered with gore.

On the plus side, Ash early on in the series acquired loyal allies Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) and growing-in-power warlock Pablo (Ray Santiago). Ash is now running a hardware store, but those Deadites just won’t leave him alone. The eventual answer was ASH VS EVIL DEAD, executive-produced by Campbell, Raimi and Tapert. Through it all, though, Campbell (and Raimi and Tapert) kept getting asked at every public appearance, “When are you doing more EVIL DEAD?” Additionally, Campbell played the recurring character of Autolycus on the Raimi/Tapert series HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS and XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS.Ĭampbell has a prolific career apart from the Raimi/Tapert team in film and television, with notable credits that include THE HUDSUCKER PROXY, ESCAPE FROM L.A., BUBBA HO-TEP (as Elvis Presley), MY NAME IS BRUCE (as a monster-beset version of himself), an a series regular role in seven seasons of BURN NOTICE as Sam Axe. (1993-1994) and JACK OF ALL TRADES (2000), both starring Campbell.

The friends also came together to make the TV series THE ADVENTURES OF BRISCO COUNTY JR. The trio went on to make EVIL DEAD II (1987) and its studio-sponsored follow-up ARMY OF DARKNESS. By now, the origin story has gained folklore status: in 1979, Campbell and his friends, director Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert, then young men in Michigan, raised $350,000 to make a low-budget horror film, THE EVIL DEAD, which was released in 1981, starring Campbell as inadvertent demon-summoner Ash Williams.
